Remerciements particuliers à nos sponsors:

Geosil®: Silicate binders and hardeners for geopolymeric systems

The Geosil® product line are the first aqueous silicate solutions specifically designed for geopolymerization. In addition, Woellner supplies a wide range of additives to help you achieve your desired properties.

Pyromeral Systems: High-temperature resistant composites

Pyromeral Systems develops and manufactures advanced materials and composite parts for applications requiring resistance to high temperatures or fire barrier. Our unique technologies based on innovative geopolymers are designed for continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 1000°C. They provide convenient, lightweight and durable solutions for industrial processes, motorsports and aerospace applications. Pyromeral Systems brings a smart alternative when conventional composites, metals or ceramics fail to deliver the desired performance.
